Battery suppliers?

[imb1610]

im limited to posting in this section as I am a new member but hey guys i have a question i hope this is not against the rules but does anyone know if this website is legit? so far from what ive seen it is the BEST value in batteries if you know of a cheaper website please point me in that direction but i must know about this one

Brand New TrustFire 2*3.7V 1600mAh 14650 Protected Rechargeable Li-ion Battery (Blue)

If your looking for a China supplier that doesn't use contradictions in the description (enviro safe, Li-Ion) you may want to try dealextreme.

But I have found more expensive batteries from US vendors to be a better value. Last longer before the charge time starts to drop.

But I went cheap starting out...

well see my current batteries suffice my needs they are no name brand li-ion 3.7volts and the battery sais 1050mah but im guessing its a little lower i was just hoping to get a longer lasting 1600mah as in the description as far as battery quality goes the only major battery names that I have heard of are Trustfire and Ultrafire

Also since my old batteries are 1050mah would i be able to charge my new 1600mah batteries one the same charger assuming they are the same voltage?

You can find good quality batteries at 4sevens.com or lighthound.com.

AW batteries are not the cheapest, but considered by many to be closer to the stated mah, and of high quality.

And the AW batteries are either protected or safe chemistry.

What specifc size are you looking for?

buy AW all the way over TF & UF the AW is a much better Batt especially there IMR !

im looking for a 14650 (I was hoping to find a 5v 14650 but that dream has been crushed as to my knowledge are non existant i want to make my epower run on 5v) and since 5v are non existant im looking for the standard 3.7v

bozzlite i checked both website you gave me and neither carry the 14650 batter i need

 

[Bozzlite]

Well, then for best performance, I recommend either the AW IMR 14500 or AW 14500 protected.

I have seen them at 4sevens.com and lighthound.com

Edit: Ok, I misread, thought you were looking for 14500. Hold on a minute, I'm gonna check those two places.

Well, lighthound has many different sizes, but no 14650. Are you sure thats the size you need?

 

[imb1610]

yep 100% my Epower only fits 14650.... thanks anyways bozzlite btw now that im asking stuff i just want you to clarify something for me does higher voltage really mean better vaping experience? or are there other variables?

 

[Hoosier]

Is a higher horsepower mower a better cut lawn? Is being hit with brass knuckles better than being hit with boxing gloves?

Higher voltage gives higher power. Higher power means more heat. More heat means more vapor.

IF, that is a big if there, the battery can supply the current then power, in Watts, is equal to voltage squared divided by atomizer resistance in Ohms. So voltage has a big impact on power/heat/vapor.

Is more power better?

 

[Bozzlite]

So, I guess the answer is yes, LOL. Can't really say myself since I have no experience with higher voltage.

There is a certain point that too much voltage can start causing the e-juice to taste burnt. ( I have read)

If you are going to try a higher voltage, I would suggest that you start with a variable voltage PV, so that you can dial in the exact voltage that gives you the best combination of flavor and vapor.

And, it's possible that you may have to switch to a higher resistance carto or atomizer.

What say you Hoosier?

 

[Hoosier]

I say, "You don't know till you try.", usually.

There was the time I accidentally screwed on a 1.5 ohm atty to a 6 volt feed and took my usual 10-15 second long draw and though I would die, but I'm feeling much better now. (for those doing the math at home that was a 24 Watt hit and I felt every Watt from my belly button to the ends of my hair on that exhale/gag.) Too bad my supply DID have that much ampere output...

But, yes, for many folks the ability to dial in your power with a VV PV is a great boon. Works for me. My sister likes her 3.2v output and sees nothing she likes about my vape. So both have their place and I'd rather one find what works and use it.

 

[Hoosier]

Oh and if anyone wonders why I kill so many attys, see previous post...

HOOSIER IM SORRY I HAVE TO SAY THIS
doesnt he remind you all of the guy that lives in the wilderness in the movie "Left without a paddle" ? xD
much love hoosier i really appreciate ur help i just thought the similarity was funny

 

[Hoosier]

I'll have you know that me dressed as Little John and friends and family that I outfitted as the rest of the crew from Robin Hood Men In Tights took first place in the professional category at the Gen Con costume contest!

Somewhere on this forum is a video of me dancing the can-can in that outfit on stage... I think the Backwoods Brew sub-forum about a contest...

Without a Paddle? Well... I... Never...!!! What kind of Hoosier do you think I am?

super t manufacturing has aw 14670's in stock not 100% sure they will work but as they are only 2mm longer than the recommended batteries it shouldn't really cause a problem if the mod you are using has a spring in it.

GRRR their about 18$ a battery :O maybe if they were 5v id shell out that kind of money
